Buffalo History Museum Research Library
[edit]We occasionally edit Wikipedia pages that have to do with Buffalo or Buffalonians.
Of particular interest to historians, genealogists, researchers, and house history buffs are the collections of the Research Library. Notable collections include the Millard Fillmore Papers, [1] the Peter Buell Porter Papers,[2] the Mary Burnett Talbert papers, [3] Larkin Company records and memorabilia,[4] and an extensive Pan American Exposition collection.[5] On display is the gun used by Leon F. Czolgosz to shoot President William McKinley at the exposition's Temple of Music on September 6, 1901. Additional resources include more than 100,000 artifacts; 20,000 books; 200,000 photographs; 50,000 plans, drawings, maps, posters, prints, and broadsides; 6,500 microfilms of newspapers,[6] church records, [7] cemetery records,[8] and censuses; plus an extensive collection of pamphlets, clippings, and similar ephemera, all documenting the people, places, architecture, organizations, businesses, and events in the Buffalo and Niagara frontier region. A number of detailed bibliographies on popular topics are online at WorldCat.[9]
FRANK, its growing catalog of 25,000 books and manuscripts, is freely searchable online.[10]
